willow herb extract: The main bioactive molecule
found in Canadian willow herb extract is oenothein-B. This molecule has been
patented for its wide ranging bioactivity including anti-viral, antitumor,
and anti-hyperandrogenic applications and also has demonstrated free radical
scavenging ability. It has been shown that the extract kills
Propionibacterium acne, the bacterium associated with acne.
vegetable glycerine: A humectant and emollient from
plants. It absorbs moisture from the air, and helps keep moisture in creams
and other products.
licorice root extract: Anti-inflammatory,
antioxidant, skin lightener.

inhibits tyrosinase activity. Exfoliant and pH adjustor. From Oleic acid
(unsaturated fatty acid) found in milk fats.
zinc: A mineral with antioxidant properties and an
essential nutrient involved in the healing process.
spin trap (PBN): Very powerful antioxidant. Instead
of destroying the free radical, it traps it , then exports it into the
respiratory cycle where it is utilized in tissue respiration. From the
nitrogen of plant roots.
folic acid: Folic acid is a vitamin (group B)
because it is required for human metabolism but it cannot be synthesized.
Folic acid is required for DNA synthesis. Folic acid works synergistically
with B-12.
vitamin B-12 (cyanocobalamin): B-12 is important to
the production of DNA, which is important for the health of skin, hair, and
other cells. B-12 works synergistically with folic acid.
D-alpha tocopherol (Vitamin E): A powerful
antioxidant.
white willow bark extract: Anti-inflammatory, pain
reliever.
chamomile extract: Soothing, restorative,
hydrating.
totarol: An extract of the New Zealand Totara tree
with potent anti-bacterial and antioxidant properties. Propionibacterium
acne, the bacterium involved in acne, is particularly sensitive to this
extract. Totarol is effective in the treatment of acne and rosacea.
blue chamomile essential oil: Blue chamomile
contains a high amount of azulene. This blue pigment (Azulene) is a powerful
healer and is very soothing to the skin.
xanthan gum: AKA cornstarch gum. Serves as a
texturizer, carrier agent, and gelling agent. Also stabilizes and thickens
formulations.
jasmine alcohol: Preservative, anti-bacterial. |
